HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO-MORROW. ]f0rming......... 45 minutes after 4 I Evening ..,,..... 1 minutes after 5 THE "DOUBLE SUN," CONTAINING BEAUTIFUL MEDALLION PORTRAITS OF MARSHAL SOTTLT AND THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON, IN THE SAME STYLE AS THAT OF HER MAJESTY IN THE ic GOLDEN CORONATION SUN," IS NOW PUBLISHING, AND MAY BE HAD OF ALL NEWSMEN BOTH IN TOWN AND COUNTRY. ** EACH PORTRAIT IS WORTH AT LEAST ONE GUINEA. BESIDES THE PORTRAITS AND WREATHS, THERE ARE CHARACTERISTIC MEMOIRS, WITH ORIGINAL ANECDOTES, OF BOTH HEROES. "THE SUN," GOLD ALL OVER. MIGHTY, because he has been supposed to have esta blished one natural law for the production of food, and a:very different law for the production of people—so dif ferent, or so contrary, that:philosophers of the Bishops' school have unhesitatingly asserted that all the vice and misery of the world, in all ages, have arisen from the difference. So striking and so all-pervading have been the deductions from this difference, or from the doctrines which go by the name of Mr. MALTHUS, that they have been called into use to explain most of the past phenomena of society, and have been held so sufficient, as to make another favourite doctrine of the Bishops—that of original sin—seem wholly unnecessary to account for the wickedness of mankind. Those doctrines are now verymuch accredited, much of modern legislation is based expressly on this presumed diffe rence, or opposition between the natural laws which are presumed to regulate the production of food and the production of people ; and much doubt is nourished, in con3equence, in all minds, both of the goodness and wisdom of the CREATOR. But we have in our Corn laws an artificial restriction on the production of food, both at home and abroad, which relieves the attributes of the ALMIGHTY from such worse than atheistical imputations, and stamps the legislative be lievers in the doctrines of a surplus population, whe ther Bishops or Squires, who support the Corn-laws, with the attribute of extreme folly, as well as extreme wickedness. They act in the teeth of their own theory. According to that, no encouragement given to the production of food can cause it to increase so fast as population, particularly in a limited and long settled country ; and here we find them ac tually prohibiting our people from having recourse to other countries, or to extending the limits of the dis trict from which they draw their regular and continued supply; and actually, therefore, they condemn the people whose happiness they pretend to provide for, to all that vice and misery which Mr. MA LTHus has demonstrated to be the means by which the faster growing popula tion is kept down to a level with the slower increasing food. What epithet can we justly apply to such a complication of folly and wickedness ? Wc know but one, and that is devilish, or demonaic, and hence forth we propose to call the Corn-laws—which are sanctioned by the Bishops, and which are maintained that they may have tithes and the Clergy be sup ported in opulence—the Devil's Laws. How much suffering, and how much of lamenta tion, arise in the world from a single bad harvest How much murmuring, how many doubts of the Supreme wisdom, spring up in the mind of man, from one of those blights which destroy, in one night, the labours and the hopes of the husband man ! How much of distress and disease come into the world, thinning the ranks of the poorer classes by the pangs of want and the quicker and more be neficent agency of fever, from one wet summer and one deficient harvest ? But what a small proportion of misery can all that bear to the misery caused by the Devil's Laws, which doom many thousand acres to re main untilled, and are equivalent to a perpetual suc cession of blights ? No laws were ever so abominable or so wicked, for they impose sterility equally on Poland and England, and continually inflict the pangs of want in both countries on thousands of human beings, and starve them out of existence. They do still more mischief. They prevent the formation of those commercial ties between different political nations, which knit them together in bonds of amity and peace, and promote war and slaughter to get rid of that surplus population they will not allow to create food for themselves and for their offspring. If laws of which the effect are to introduce famine, pestilence, and war amongst mankind—all that vice and woe and misery which are the giant agents in everywhere keeping down popula• tion to the level of subsistence—be not the Devil's Laws, though they be enacted by the Bishops, what can deserve the name ? We made a brief allusion a few days ago to the exclusion of THORWALDSEN'S Statue of Lord BYRON from Westminster Abbey, by order of the Dean and Chapter of that Cathodral. We are in duced to offer a few observations on the subject, mainly in consequence of the narrow-minded view which some of our Contemporaries have taken of it. That the Tory Journals should have applauded to the skies the bigotry of Dean IRELAND and his asso ciates is nothing wonderful—nothing even out of the common way—for with them a Dean and Chapter are infallible authorities. But we must confess, that we did not expect to see the Morning Chronicle chime in with the hypocritical cant which they have put forth in such abundance touching this matter. We had given our Contemporary credit for better taste and sounder judgment than he has diplayed in the article on BYRON, which we have this day quoted from his pages. Before we proceed to notice our Contemporary's remarks more particularly, let us observe that it is a matter of very small importance, as regards Lord BYRON'S fame, whether or not the Dean and Chapter of Westminster admit his statue into that place in which the monuments of the illustrious dead are deposited. Nothing that they, in their ephe meral existence can do, will shorten, by a single hour, the duration of that fame which will be fresh and fair when Deans and Chapters shall be no more. BYRON has raised his own monument, of materials far more durable than any which the sculptor or the painter can employ, and it will be co-existent with the language of his country. All, therefore, that Dean IRELAND and his brethren can do in this case, is to afford to the public an additional example of the bigotry and malignity which dwell in the bosoms off thoroughbred Churchmen. When the Morning Chronicle says that churches are not proper places for the exhibition of works of art, and that if BYRoN's statue were erected in the Abbey " it would seem to show that private virtue was of lit tle consequence in the distribution of posthumous honours," he forgets that that part of the Abbey in which the monuments are placed, is entirely separate fiom the part used for religious purposes. It is, as far as devotional purposes are concerned, no part of the Church. A monument placed there cannot, therefore, interfere with any devotional feelings • and as to the objection taken to the distribution of posthumous honours, without re gard to private virtue, our Contemporary must see that if that be a valid one in this instance it applies equally to the national commemoratio n of genius for which he is desirous to establish a locality. Indeed if pri vate virtue be made a criterion for admission into Westminster Abbey, the Dean and Chapter, in order to be consistent, must begin by expelling the greater part of the monuments, as well as of the dust, in that holy place. But the truth'- is, that our Contemporary has completely answered himself on this point, for he has shown that if the rigid standard which he and the Chapter have assumed be admitted, neither CI-IA UCER ❑or SIIA KSPEA RE have any busi ness in the Abbey. In like manner, if Lord BYRON'S claims in point of literary genius, be not, as the Morn ing Chronicle would have us to believe, of the highest order, still he allows they are better than those of the SHADWEL LS, the PRIORS, and the SPRATTS, who occupy so large a space in the Abbey, and no where else. The Morning Chronicle observes that Dr. IRE LAND, as a Churchman, " would consistently re fuse a place to men who have distinguished themselves by hostility to the Church of England." W e sa y no; Dr. IRELAND, as a Churchman, would act inconsistently in doing so, until he has first relieved his " conscientious scruples" and Poet's Corner from the presence of JOHN MIL.- I TON, who, our Contemporary requires not to be told, was not only a Dissenter from the doctrines and disci pline of the Church, but " distinguished" above all men for the hostility which he displayed towards it in his writings. What, then, is the conclusion which all reasonable men must come to but this, that upon the principles on which monumental honours, whether to warriors, statesmen, or men of literary genius, have hitherto been bestowed, Lord BYRoN's statue ought to be admitted into Westminster Abbey ; and that those who have taken upon themselves to exclude it have acted partially and disreputably. The Paris Journals of Wednesday have all been received. The following extracts from them embody all the news they contain of any political or general interest : Our readers will find under the head of " Spain" the re port sent by Gen. Oraa to the Governor of Saragossa, of the action of the Bth, near Morella, which was announced by the telegraphic dispatch. Persons who are used to the style of the Christin o bulletins will at once see on rea din g this that if the advantage really was on the side of Oraa it was very trifling. We shall not be surprised if it should turn oilit that the Christinos were defeated, as some letters intimate. SPAIN. (From the Novicio of Saragossa of the 15th.) CAMP OF LA PABLETA, AUG, 11. The heavy artillery and all the materiel reached the camp without accident on the 9th, and all the divisions of the army were united on the aame day. Cabrera made an effort on the Bth, after sunset, by attacking suddenly and with the forces of Llangostera, the first troops of Don Miguel's division, which came to occupy the spot where they went to encamp, at the hermitage of St. Marcus; but neither the darkness of the night, nor the number of the rebels at the beginning of the action, nor the advantage they derived from their knowledge of the ground, could check the ardour of a squadron of the King's regiment and the company of sharp shooters of the sixth of the line, which, having charged the enemy, and given our infantry time to come up, repulsed them, and forced them to quit a house of which they had taken possession, and to return to their first position, which they also abandoned the next morning at daybreak, retreat ing to the heights of Coracha. Coba and Viscarro, who were encamped in my sight with their forces, were driven from their positions yesterday morning by a part of the division of Pardinas, which pursued them for a long time. The operations of the siege continue, and the communica tion of Morella with the adjacent country was cut off yesterday evening. The troops bear with patience and joy the privation and fa tigues inherent in operations of this kind, and are very eager to meet the enemy. The brave Ist battalion of the King's Regiment, protected by our artillery, occupied yesterday evening the position which the garrison of Morella held outside the walls of the town, and maintained its ground there in spite of the brisk and con tinued firing from the fortress. ( A true copy.) MARIANO BORBON. Saragossa, Aug. 14, 1833. —Gazette de France. We read the following in the Courricr Francais ;—" A journal which defends the interests of the northern courts (the Quotidienne) wishes to be informed how the documents, by the publication of which a threat is held out of continuing the Portfolio, can have been abstracted without a recourse to frau dulent means. In spite of the inducements held out to us, we shall enter into no explanations, simply because the documents in question have not been abstracted. We can only say that they are not spiritual mystifications, and that M. Pozzo di Borgo is not a man to play the part of M. Fabricius. The publication in question will probably be something more than a slight mystification fur many of the friends of the northern Courts, who are not anxious for the exposure of certain names. There are men who imagine themselves entitled to dupe the Goiernment of July, from which they nevertheless accept functions, dignities, and honours. Of this privilege, to use the words of Quotidienne, it would be as well to deprive them. Nor will it be wholly uninteresting to give as much publicity as possible to the ideas of the Holy Alliance relative to the Spanish Peninsula, which bear some resemblance to those of the French emigration during the reign of terror. The Cabinet of St. Peteraburgh, though no doubt endowed with great tact, is occasionally compelled to put pen to paper, and from the moment that its writings may be laid before the public, the possibility of keeping the illusion ceases. A po licy which is not only anti-French, but anti-European, loses part of its force when it can be unmasked." Twelve thousand inscriptions of the new Belgian loan of fifty millions have been sent to M. Rothschild. The Chancellor, Baron Pasquier, and the Duke de Gazes, 1 Grand Referendary of the Chamber of Peers, who are the ' guardians of the Etat Civil of the members of the Royal family, have for several days had orders not to absent them selves from Paris. They are to hold themselves in readiness to repair to the Tuileries, to draw up the requisite documents at the accouchement of the Duchess of Orleans. The Outre Mer quotes advices from Santiago da Cuba of the 30th of June, which report that there had been a fresh rising of the blacks in that part of the island called Trinity. They had been, however, put down, and had returned to work without any loss of human life. The Government intended to forbid the southern parts of the island, and even, it was said, the whole island, from holding communication with Jamaica after the Ist of August, when the blacks were to be finally emancipated. The Helvetic prints counsel the Vorort to assume a war like attitude towards France, as may be seen in the following extract from the Swiss Observer of the 17th inst.:- " We have an army of 67,000 men, and a landwehr of 30,000. Nor is this all ; the militia registered amount to 170,000 inn, of whom 9,000 are arquebusiers (armed with muskets, who fire well). The cantons of the west, which are the nearest to France, present a mass of imposing militia. Berne has 40,000 men; Vaud, 26,000 ; Geneva, 5,500 ; So. leure, 2, 700; Basle (city), and Basle (country), 4,500. The men of eastern Switzerland may also be depended upon. There are 450 pieces of artillery disposable, and the arsenals are quite supplied. Our soldiers are brave, but it is necessary that an example should be set before them by their superiors. Let but the Vorort take a worthy and firm attitude, and the nation will second it." Extract of a letter from Lucerne of the 19th inst. :-" At a fresh interview which the Duke de Montebello had yesterday with the President of the Diet, the French Ambassador corn muaicated to M. Kopp the special instructions which he had received from Count Mole, and which enjoined him to demand his passports Instantly if the Diet did not, without any restric tion, comply with the desire manifested in the note of the Ist. The Duke called also the attention of the Bernese Avoyer to the grave consequences to which the Confederation would ex pose itself in any longer resisting the will of France. The President of the Diet replied with great coolness to the Duke de Montebello, that Switzerland knew what she had to do under existing circumstances; that she by no means desired a rupture with France ; but that, on the other hand, she would never disgrace herself by making concessions which would affect her independence and dignity, or violate her system of legislation ; and that her motto was-Fais ce que doffs, vienne que pourra."

Brussels and German Papers have been received this morning. We are happy to learn that the acci dent on the Bruges and Ghent Railway is not so serious as was at first reported—•.two lives only having been lost : BRUSSELS, Auo. 22.—The day before yesterday, at eleven in the morning, the King and Queen set out by the railroad for Ostend. On the 27th the King will go direct to Be verloo and then return, whence he will go to England. The train which met with the accident, by which two persons were killed the day before yesterd a y, was t h at which ha been specially appointed to take the King and Queen to Ostend, and which was on its return. Every possible precaution had been taken, and the accident was entirely owing to the keeper of the sw i n g bridges. The keeper had lighted the lamp, which is a sign that the bridge is closed, and had quitted his post, but forgot to close the bride, so that when the train arrived the guides seeing the lamp burning, thought all was safe, and proceeded ; the consequence of which was that the first carriage fell into the rive r ; what meanstle is and na theirtin nations. carg oes i IELCi lAN I UNDS—SaussELB, Auo. 22, Actual Debt, 21, , ,i per Cent. othernot known,carriag e ands wh s e t r o e pr d e e d ta . ched from the first, b y A tr,eity of commerce h as j ust been con cluded at Constan tinople by M.

Letters have been received from Constantinople of the lst inst., both in Paris a , d London, Which staL positively that a British force from Bombay had sailed up the Persian Gulf, and taken possession of Bushire, with a view to punish the SCHAH of PERUA, for the insult offered by him to England, in the person of her Ambassador. The following extract from the Con stantinopolitan Correspondence of the Chronicle of this morning contains the fullest account of this affair which has yet reached us : The accounts which were a short time ago received her• from Bombay, relative to movements of troops in that quar ter, and which were treated with so much levity, and as mat ters worthy of so little confidence by many incredulous persons, have now, it appears, not only assumed a form which, as those individuals would say, looks something more like consistency, but have developed themselves in a manner calculated to asto nish some of those general detractors from England's Eastern policy, and which will tend also to produce a material change in the present position and future prospects of our Persian affairs. The accounts to which I allude spoke, as will be recollected, of a large body of troops being expected to embark, but the destination of which, though reported for the Persian Gulf, was not positively known. These troops, from the intelligence now received, have not only embarked, but have already ascended the Persian Gulf, landed, and made themselves masters of Bushire. This important news was brought here on Monday last by a Tartar from Bagdad, who, under a promise of a large reward, bad performed the journey from thence in seventeen days, having travelled with such rapidity that two of the surrugees, or postillions, had died by t a clay with over-heat and fatigue. A few hours after his arrival a courier was dispatched by Lord Ponsonby to England. The number of troops actually disembarked at the period this intelligence left, and which may be supposed to be only the first division of the intended expedition, is 2,000 men, though some reports make it out to be three or four times that number; arid it is, according to some accounts, also pretended that the news of this event having already reached Herat, had immediately induced the Schah to recal Mr. but that that gentleman had refused to return, stating, that, having once forced him to retire, his Majesty must now abide by the consequences. This latter report, how ever, is an evident absurdity, since it is quite impossible that news which, with all possible dispatch, only reached here on Monday last, can be even yet received at Herat (the journey across the desert from Shiraz to Herat being at least twenty days), much more that it should have reached there in time for accounts to have been forwarded here, which would require at least forty days more. We trust that the intelligence thus communicated will not prove unfounded. Further comment upon it for the present would, in our opinion, be ill-judged. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. MURDER.—John Clarke and Alexander Mitchel, the chief mate and cook of a brig called the Eleanor, were indicted with the wilful murder of Benjamin Driscoll, on the high seas, on the 14th of July last. John Carty stated, that on the I 4t l l of July he was a seaman on board the brig Eleanor, of which the prisoners were mate and cook ; the vessel was bound from Quebec. On that day w itness was ordered to the helm, the two prisoners and others were upon the watch. When witness was relieved from the helm he heard Yarmouth (the nick name for Driscoll) ask the chief mate to let him go below, but he refused. Mitchel was standing at that time at the fore hatchway, by the orders of the mate to prevent Yarmouth going below. Yarmouth said he would allow the boy to give him half a dozen on the bare back if he would let him go below ; he also said he would take his trowsers off and receive a dozen if he could only get twenty minutes cr half an hour's rest below. The mate then sent for a point, which was a thick plat. Yarmouth was placed on the windlass and struck severely with the point. During the time he was being punished, Yarmouth cried out, " For God's sake don't hit me so strong." He was then punished with the nettles, and cried out more severely than before. One of the pri sonsers struck Yarmouth, and the other held him down. Wit ness then went to his hammock, where he heard the Captain calling on Yarmouth to come up on deck, but he could not come up. The Captain then ordered three or four men to bring him up. He could not stand he was hurt so much. Some rum was fetched to rub his temples. Yarmouth's side was dreadfully gored with blood. When the Captain saw it he said that it was caused by his falling from the windlass on the chain cable. Hartshorn was applied to his temples, which caused a gurgling noise in Yarmouth's throat. He was taken down stairs and died the same afternoon. Yarmouth's health had been very good during the voyage, and he seemed very lively that morning. _ Cross-examined by Mr. CLaaKsoN—A point was a flat rope, and nettles were small things like whip-cord. The mate and witness had not quarrelled ; had said at the pay•table that he would give Clarke a turn for giving him too much work. The mate made Yarmouth dance Jim Crow between the wind. lass and the fore-hatchway ; that was before he was whipped, as he could not stand after it. Witness had run away frcrn several ships, and would have run away from this if he could, forte could not bear the treatment. The vessel did not touch at any port after she left Newfoundland. By Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—It was after witness and Clarke had quarrelled that he went to the Poplar station and gave in formation. Never quarrelled with Mitchell. Charles Cumming, who was also a seaman on board the Eleanor, corroborated the evidence of the last witness. Robert Edgar, a carpenter on board the Eleanor, remem bered the night between the 13th and 14th of July, when they were off Newfoundland. Assisted in carrying Yarmouth on deck by the Captain's orders ; he could not speak or move; he died the same night. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON.—Quebec was a place where it was difficult to get men ; those that were got had generally run away from other vessels. Yarmouth, in the bad weather, was accused of being a skulker. Carty and Cumming were gruMbling about the soup during the whole voyage. Witness had never seen any savageness or cruelty about either of the prisoners. By Mr, Justice COLERIDGE.—Had often seen the mate shake the rope at Yarmouth, but never saw him strike him. The lump on Yarmouth's side appeared to witness to arise from cramp. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. CLARKSON addressed the Jury for the prisoner, and called several witnesses, who gave the prisoners excellent cha racters for humanity and kind treatment. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE summed up, and The Jury, after retiring for half an hour, returned into Court, finding a verdict of Guilty of manslaughter against Clerk, and acquitted Mitchell. NEW COURT. The COMMON SERJEANT at the sitting of the Court, stated that bills had been found against 230 untried prisoners, and threw out a pretty broad hint that the session would not very speedily terminate. Harriet Smith was indicted for uttering a counterfeit shill ing, knowing the same to be counterfeit. The COMMON SERJEANT passed on the prisoner the miti gated sentence of three months' imprisonment in the House of Correction, this having been her first offence. Alois Bourman, and Carl Pheif, natives of Coblentz, in Germany, were charged with having stolen on the 14th of July last, from Henri Amrath, their fellow lodger, residing at 10, Finsbury -street, twenty-eight sovereigns, one half sovereign, five dollar pieces, twenty-seven ten guilder pieces, and two doubloon pieces. The Jury found Bourman guilty, but acquitted Phief. Bourman was sentenced to transportation for ten years. THE MARKETS. CORN MARKETS.

The weather being fine to-day, the Wheat trade has become slack, and the advance of last day was hardly supported, and some quantity of middling Wheat is left unsold.

B. P. Sugar continues to sell languidly, and at prices which tend to deeline. The sales for the week amount to a slender number of hhds. To- day I,l‘ had public sales of 50 brl s . Tri nidad Coffee, 80 bags Brazil, both of which sold at previous rates, but the quantity is too small to be any criterion to the market. Cassia Lignea, 600 chests, fetched about the prices of this day week, but did not sell. Nutmegs 8 chests, and 69 bags Long Pepper, fetched their former value, as did also 1,650 baskets ofSaltpetre. In fact there is nothing just n ow to produce any va riation in prices of Colonial produce. During the week there has been but little business done, and with the exception of Raw Sugar, which has declined in price, most other descrip. tions of Colonial produce have been uniform in their value this week with that of last.

LONDON : FRIDAY EVENING. AUGUST 24, 1838. The Morning Chronicle of yesterday contained a short letter on the subject of the Corn-laws, of which the following is the substance : " During the last twenty years, what additional quantity of wheat land has been brought into cultivation, and what propor tion does its produce bear to the great increase of population during the same period. If the one has not, in some degree, kept pace with the other, it is quite obvious we must become more or less dependant upon the foreign grower ; and if so, how unwise does our present system appear, which does not admit of foreign grain being imported at a reasonable duty until bread is a shilling the quartern loaf." Without pretending to say in what proportion the increase of cultivation has kept pace with the in crease of population, we can decide without the slightest hesitation that it has been impeded by the Corn-laws. There is no doubt of the continual tendency of population to increase fully up to means of subsistence ; and no doubt that the practical check on the production of food in this and every country is the cost of producing food. If, for example, Bag shot-heath or Blackheath, would pay the expense of cultivating it with wheat, either of them might be cultivated. Whatever, therefore, enhances the cost of producing food, limits the supply. Now the effect of the Corn-laws is to raise the price of every thing grown on the soil of England. It raises the price of all corn used for seed, for feeding draught cattle, for feeding the labourers, and for feeding the capitalists who cultivate tl ground. It raises the price also of all the instruments they are obliged to use— such as carts, ploughs, &c. &c., for the price of corn enters into all these—and of all the commodities they and their labourers consume. Now, the increase of price increases pro Undo the cost of cultivation, and in that proportion impedes the cultivation of England. But with the Corn-laws, and for the sake of which they are preserved, the tithes are conjoined, and all the expense and all the impediment which they lay in the way of extending cultivation, may be justly charged to the Corn-laws. If there were no tithes there would be no shadow of a pretext for Corn-laws, and how much the tithes embarrass the cultivator and impede cultivation, though it cannot be accurately measured, requires not to be told. It may be said that the increased price caused by the Corn-laws compensates the increased expense of cultivation. But this is not so. The whole expense of cultivating the soil is incurred by the labourer and the capitalist ; the landowners and the titheowners are at no expense, and do not contribute one hand's turn to the production. But the increase of price goes mainly or wholly into the pockets of the useless land owner and the mischievous titheowner, and whatever amount, therefore, of the increase goes to the landowner and to the titheowner is a deduction from that increased price which it is supposed compensates the capitalist and the labourer for the increased expense of pro ducing corn, and limits far within its natural bounds the increase of profitable production. The Corn-laws, it is well known, lower the rate of profit generally. They cause the cost of subsistence to be increased. But it is from profit in the majority of cases, and seldom or never from rent, that capital is accumulated. Whatever lowers the rate of profit im pedes the accumulation:of capital, lessens the compe tition amongst capitalists, and impedes its applica tion to land. Wherever that competition is extensive great ingenuity is called into existence ; and thus the Corn-laws, by lowering profit, and impeding the application of capital to land also prevents the improvement of agriculture. We hold it to be demonstrable and demonstrated that the Corn-laws and the Tithe-laws, of which the Corn-laws are the pilfering adjunct, by raising the cost of produc tion, in a far greater proportion than they raise the rewards of the agricultural capitalists, do impede and have much impeded the increase of cultivation in England. At the same time, therefore, as they place the nation, in a season of scarcity like the present, comple): - ely at the mercy of one or two foreign countries, as we yesterday showed, they actually check the growth of corn at home. Having shown that the Corn-laws limit the supply of our food, both by checking cultivation at home and preventing other countries from growing corn for ins, we must now remind our readers generally, but chiefly our law-makers, particularly the Bishops, and more particularly still such of them—CHARLES JAMES of London, for example—as supported the New Poor-law —the arguments for which, and for a number of unwholesome restrictions, and for the en couragement given to emigration, rest on the principle .of a surplus population —that great disparagement has in snodern times been thrownonthe attributes of the AL- LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.)

We have rQceived Cape of Good Hope Papers to the 21s1 June :-- NATIVE TRIBES OF THE NORTHERN FRONTIE:t.—We have been favoured with a perusal of till Journal of Mr. Hugh, a Missionary, stationed at Georgia Town, written during two visits which he paid to some native towns or villages in July, 1837. They confirm the pleasing accounts given by several travellers passing through the interior, of the change recently produced in the manners and habits among the natives, among whom Christianity had begun to take root, and to the thirst for knowledge by persons of all ages. FRONTIER.—WC have nothing from the frontier this week of much public importance. Acting in the spirit and accord. ing to the letter of the late treaties, his Excellency and the Caffre Chiefs were endeavouring to check the irregularities, thefts, and robberies, of which we hear so many complaints. From the Graham's Town Jo urna l, 7th J une _ _ " The story of the farmers being surrounded by the Zoolas has no foundation. Our informant states that they are in no dan ger of an attack, having formed their encampment in a country perfectly unencumbered either with bush or ravines, and that they may b! considered quite secure against any native force, which would be sent against them. They are in three divi sions, several miles apart, but are so situated as to be able to form a junction at a very short notice. It is stated that the farmers are not in the slightest degree disheartened by the late occurrences, and they are resolved not to quit the country, while they have a man left, until they have avenged: the savage slaughter of their countrymen ; in this determination, the women are still more decided than the men, and the general opinion is, that the Zoolas will ultimately be subdued. A party of 130 farmers had been at Port Natal since the visit there of the Zoola army ; they brought with them a long train of waggons, and conveyed away a considerable quantity of am munition. This shows that the farmers are not in any great dread of the Zoolas. The Zoolas plundered Berea. Captain Gardiner•s station, and left nothing behind them but books ; the Society has lost much property." THE FUNDS.
